Excuse me, vesafb is hardly banging any hardware. The whole idea is that
the mode is already set before Linux starts booting so it could be done
in real mode. The requirement for KGI drivers should be that they could
initialize te card to their liking no matter from what mode (text or
not) the card is currently in.
